Don’t shed a tear, Mert & Marcus’ LOVE covers might have featured several top models & Hollywood starlets crying, but they made our list for sheer originality. Even the preview image for the covers, featuring Nyasha<\/a> and one feathered fancy of a headpiece is among the years best.<\/p>\n

In all honesty we could put together a list of best Vogue Italia covers of the year, since there were (as always) quite a few good ones to choose from. That said, Saskia’s glittering March cover lived up to the cover text and just plain dazzled us.<\/p>\n
